I am absolutely thrilled to share my exceptional experience at Island Juice in Harlem, formerly known as Jahlookova Health Mart. This unassuming local spot is a true gem that has stolen my heart, and I'm so grateful to have discovered it. As a vegetarian, I'm always on the lookout for authentic and delicious plant-based options, and Island Juice delivers in spades.
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that immediately made me feel at ease. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the menu, taking the time to answer all my questions and offer expert recommendations. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and it's clear that they genuinely care about providing an exceptional dining experience for every guest.
Now, onto the food - oh, the glorious food! Island Juice boasts an impressive array of creative and mouth-watering vegetarian dishes that cater to a variety of tastes and dietary needs. But what truly sets them apart is their commitment to traditional Caribbean cuisine, including the elusive callaloo patty - a rare find in the city that's absolutely not to be missed. The combination of flavors and textures is pure magic, and I found myself savoring every bite.
What impresses me most about Island Juice is their dedication to quality, freshness, and community. You can taste the love and care that goes into every dish, and the staff's passion for healthy, sustainable living is evident in every aspect of the restaurant. Whether you're a local or just visiting Harlem, Island Juice is an absolute must-visit destination for anyone seeking a truly unique and satisfying vegetarian dining experience.
In short, Island Juice in Harlem is a shining star in the culinary world, and I'm so grateful to have discovered it. If you're looking for a delicious, authentic, and exceptional vegetarian meal with outstanding service, look no further. Five stars, hands down, and I'll be back...

This it’s not one of those places that says oh we don’t have it, when I requested Ginger he was able to accommodate that. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, it’s also nice to see hard-working men who are able to multitask with many customers quickly. They also have all types of Patty’s- jerk, beef, and veggie. The perfect snack combo - smoothie and a Patty. I really enjoyed it! I never had a jerk chicken patty, first time ever and...
Read moreInsanely bad service. I remember At 12:33 pm on 10/24 the employee RANDOMLY asking me (the Biracial girl with the good hair in the profile picture) if I wanted a piece of both the jerk and the bbq chicken so I said “YES PLEASE”. I didn’t know she would LITERALLY be giving me 2 SMALL pieces of chicken. IF I PAID WITH MY CARD, I WOULD’VE called my bank To file a claim over my $8.99. Act your age, not your wage. They will never see my face in their store ever again. It wouldn’t matter how hungry I am!...
